OK…. But I really don't get it. Nothing you said indicates that you didn't get good if not excellent care the two times you sought health care over your life time. Your tonsils probably needed to come out but yet the very worst thing you have to say about that experience was that your dad passed out – you lived, your dad came to after passing out (fainting) and you are most likely better off than if your infected tonsils had been left in you to fester and had you died from septicemia. Then a few months ago you suffered fractured ribs from a fall and were sent home with pain killers and muscle relaxers, which is pretty much standard care for rib fractures unless you suffered internal organ injury which you evidently didn’t.
But dude, seriously, if you are still suffering from severe pain and disability from your rib fractures after three months and refuse to see a doctor, that’s not the fault of modern medicine – that’s your own fault for being stubborn and dare I say stupid.
I guess I am just still angry that they shot me up with morphine to get me on the gurney, gave me a one-armed x-ray technician, kept me in the ER for several hours because the morphine had suppressed my respiration to the point that I was running less than 80% blood oxygen level, then walked me out in a set of paper scrubs because I could neither sit down in nor get out of a wheelchair.
I'm not surrendering myself to that kind of crap ever again.
